Norwich vs Preston tips and predictions

Norwich might not hold all the aces against Preston

The short price for Norwich renders them unbackable. Preston don't look likely get the job done but they can cause some problems. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

These sides have impressed at the back. In their last 3 matches Norwich have only conceded 0.7 goals. Meanwhile Preston haven't conceded a single goal during their most recent 3 away matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head, 4 of the last 7 have ended with parity.

Norwich are the clear favourites and it is possible they just don't give anything away. In that case the BTTS No bet seems like a decent side bet.

Norwich have drawn 4 of their last 8 matches on their own soil, including their most recent match when they drew 1-1 with Reading last Tuesday. Preston have drawn 7 of their last 14 matches and while the prediction is for any deadlock, a scoreline of 0-0 might be a good shout here. It isn't a very exciting prediction and it feels like a match to keep at arm's length. A deadlock awaits after what looks likely to be a low-scoring affair.
